My Chili recipe:

1 batch chili seasoning
1 can red kidney beans
1 can black beans
2 (or 3) 8-oz cans tomato sauce
1 package vegetarian "beef" crumbles (like boca or morningstar)

brown "beef" in a large saucepan. Add sauce and both cans of beans (I usually drain and rinse the black beans but keep the liquid from the kidney beans.). Add seasoning and simmer for 10-15 minutes. If you need more liquid, add water or more tomato sauce. Server with your choice of toppings (frito's scoops, shredded cheese, avocado, etc.)
